I was looking forward to this handset. Moving away from my 6 months old SPV M3100 I was expecting an upgrade, but it's not.
First disappointment was finding out the lack of built in WiFi. I've been stuck in enough airports and coffee shops to know how useful a wireless connection would be, especially if you play with skype.
Then it was time to connect the handset to my PC... Rather than using a standard USB cables which would fit my cameras, my other mobiles, my external USB disk, etc... etc... etc..., Palm seem to have decided to cash in on the replacement cable market. For me it's yet another cable to carry around and yet another cable to have left at the office when I need it at home and vice versa.
It was painful moving from my old M5000 to the M3100, only purely because of the screen size that I was about to lose out on; I've adjusted, but I miss the screen size on the old M5000 - but at the cost of mobility (unlike the M5000, the M3100 isn't shaped like and doesn't weigh as much as a brick!!). Moving to the palm 750 is even more painful! If you ever decide to throw GPS at it, or watch a video, or enjoy the pleasures of transcriber, then you're kinda stuffed with the Palm's tiny screen. And to what gain? - the shape and size of the 750 isn't that much better or nicer than the M3100, and I prefer the keyboard on the M3100.
It's slow. They've stuck a slower processor in it than what I get in my M3100; it's not too noticeable running a couple of the apps side by side with the M3100, but still. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not singing the praise of the M3100, I just think in the world of smart devices, it offers a very good comparison.
The novelty of the 750 wore off after a week; I'm back on an M3100.
I hope that's helped.
